This blog could have a newborn if it was just pregnant when i last post anything!

Yes guilty as charged. I let my laziness took over. The neverending i dont have time excuse when i have time to upload on Instagram. My brain is getting slow.. slow to think even the right word to start a blog post!

So update ya update..

The cheeky girl is now 3 years and 3 months, whilst the baby boy is 1 year and 11 months. Time flies huh, phew. They are suddenly running around making chaos in the house. From a tiny little humans to hard-to-catch not-so-little humans. <3

Randavi and Surindi at their Aunty Cindy’s.

And this Mom still with her 8 – 5 office work. Yes, never did finally decided to be a stay at home Mom even with quite a few evil hatred people envying me with my career. Oh well, im so blessed with a mother who can take care of my kids when i am at work. And with my in laws who always there when my mother is not around. Hmm come to think about it, i have everything a daughter, a wife and a mother need. A love from people around me. Now i understand the hate.. Tsk tsk.. <3

I have to stop now, as my December task is getting longer ( remember i have full time job!). I be back! And i promise.. yes.. hmmm..

I wake up today and realised it’s already August. Almost end year. My babies are getting bigger and demanding more attention from me. Life has been quite tiring, with weekdays work and weekend long drive. I drive home for 123km every Friday and back to office on Monday morning.

There is a day i feel so tired, and i don’t think i can do it anymore. But my babies are my strength. Soon babies, we will have our home here <3

I delivered little Eli naturally but with a help of vacuum. I am so tired, after so many pushes and i told Dr.Sutha to please use the vacuum. I can’t stand the pain anymore. Each time i push, i can feel the baby is about to pop out, but still it went back in. I am so stressed and i can hear the baby heart rate is dropping.

Immediately they set up the vacuum and ask me to push very hard for them to ‘suck’ the baby out. I give my very painful push with a loud scream and they fix the vacuum and pop the baby out!

It is such a joy and relief when they put baby Eli on by chest for the first time. Eli announcing his arrival to this world with a big loud cry.

But all of sudden his breathing became so fast, the nurses need to bring him to the other room. He enter the world with umbilical cord around his neck ‘strangling’ him (Nuchal Chord). No wonder i really have hard time pushing him out!

I was so worried but Dr Sutha has not done with me, i prayed so hard for my baby i cried while Dr Sutha ‘fix’ me.

Eli has to be in monitoring unit for a night, his breathing is not consistent and he need oxygen support.

The night after the delivery was without him, and the feeling is soooo empty. Luckly, early in the morning the nurses deliver our baby into the room. I almost cry.

Thank you Lord for this beautiful baby boy you sent to me. Each time i looked at him, i smile remembering the ‘gift-from-heaven’ he bring around his neck, entering the world <3

It’s been a while since i posted something. Being too busy with my pregnancy and my work. I was having many false alarm during the pregnancy, and admitted to hospital 1 night due to frequent contractions.

On 15th january 2016, after weekly checkup at JMC ( Jesselton Medical Center), me and my husband went for a lunch at Sri Latha Curry house . My tummy already feel uneasy but i thought it was my hunger strike in. I ate a set of banana leaf with chicken curry and fish curry. It was soooooo good i even miss the taste now hehe.

After lunch we went to Sembulan for my kuih muih craving, then head back home. My contraction starting to get stronger, and i know it was time. Hubby still have to do some work on his lappy, and i slowly went upstairs to take my shower and getting my hair washed.

At 5am, i finished packing and told hubby that we need to go to hospital. We stuck in a jam at Kelombong area, nearby JMC. Luckly the jam doesn’t take that long, and we manage to reach JMC around 5.45PM.

Went up to 7th floor, and was greeted by the nurse there. I told them that i am 5minutes contractions, and they quickly put me in a room. I am already 3cm dilated at 6.30 PM. They decided that i need to stay because i can deliver anytime soon. But never did they expect i will be so quick, that i deliver my baby boy at 7.31PM. Only an hour after they first check me.

Eli is getting stronger and gives me backpain and cramps. Looks like he can’t wait to join his sister. Maybe he hear so much noise ( Emma’s screaming and crying and humming) and curious to know. 😀

Sleeping is really a struggle nowdays. My tummy is so big it’s really hard to get the right position each time. It will take me 1 to 2 hours to get the right position and finally fall asleep.

Apple cider vinegar is my favourite drink now. Ha ha, have to drink it for my bowel movement and for the skin. Skin dryness really bothering me, but no lotion or any moisturiser can cure the dryness. Home remedy, is the fantastic Apple Cider Vinegar. I drink it with 2 spoons on honey and a glass of water twice a day. The taste? Hmm so far i can handle it haha.

Eli is now 32 weeks. He is a strong baby boy, keep jumping,kicking and do the somersault inside my tummy. It’s painful sometimes, but yeah, it shows how healthy my baby Eli is.

Checkup with Dr Sutha at JMC is now every 2 weeks. Quite tedious but, well all for Eli. Luckily JMC is just 5 minutes away from my office, the only thing is the waiting. Hurgh, Dr Sutha really have soooo many fans..haha..

I keep getting the painful contraction, and it’s just 32 weeks. Well in facts, i have been getting it since 30 weeks. Only braxton hicks (BH), but when it comes, i could hardly move from whatever i was doing. Painful from the tummy to the back. Wohoo Eli, you sure a sporty little man!

So excited and a bit worry too, because our EJ is just 1 year and 4 months when he arrive. How would she react? Will she be jealous with her new sibling? Well to consider she won’t have the full attention she used to have before.

Luckily for the second one, we don’t have to spent lots on baby items since we can just use our little EJ’s stuffs.

And how about me? ha ha..can i handle two little babies at once? How do you handle yours?

Children are not a distraction from more important work. They are the most important work.

Since EJ was born, i tried my best not to give her any medicine from drug stores, even it is prescribed by doctor. She should not consume any drugs before at least she is 1. There is this time, when she was 3 months old, having a very bad flu, doctor prescribed flu medicine but says: The best is not to give her unless you really have to.

As a mom, i wanted the best for my EJ. So i decided to try home remedy instead.

a. lemon: I use lemon to bath her. Cut about 3 slices of lemon, and put it into a glass of hot water. Pour it into your baby bath tub, with cold water. With natural antibacterial properties and high levels of vitamin C, lemon bath can help your baby to breath easily and as disease thrives in an acidic environment, it’s alkalizing effect also promote health.

b. Garlic: Take raw garlic, bake it in the oven, crush it Rub it to your baby foot, put on her socks. Leave it overnight. It will helps your baby to sleep better, and reduces the chances for her to get cold.

Trust me, it works-well at least for my EJ. Lets try any home remedies for our baby first before turns to prescribed drugs. It will helps your baby to grow naturally without any influence of unnecessary drugs.

But please also note that, this is only for flu, cold and not serious symptom. Doctor advise should be followed in case of other health condition.
